Windycon ho!

[tigertoy]

I think hope harbor some delusions that I'm past the worst of this cold and will be more or less functional tomorrow.  I haven't missed a Windycon since I got into fandom, and I don't want to start now.

For those out there who are also attending, a few points:

• As I said, I have a cold.  If you want to avoid me, I'll understand.  I can use hugs, though.
  
• If anyone still wants to hang out with me anyway, I'd be just thrilled to make a plan ahead of time for dinner Friday or Saturday.
  
• If you want an EFRC calendar, please track me down.  I will have a limited number with me, so to be sure you get one, say so.
  
• If you're picking up one of my games, don't let me forget to connect with you.
  
• If anyone familiar with the location of the hotel would care to give an independent opinion of how to get there from I-57 on Friday afternoon, feel free.  The con web site recommends taking Roosevelt Rd. from 294, bypassing I-88 entirely.  That looks like a long way on surface streets just looking at the map, so I'd like to know if there's a good reason to go that way.
  
• I won't have anything in the art show.  I haven't found a satisfactory solution to the framing/matting problem.
